Happy Thursday...the last one before Thanksgiving! YAY! I am super thankful for our DELISH Thanksgiving lunch feast today! We are blessed with an amazing lunchroom staff. Seriously, I want to ask them for their recipes on multiple occasions! Their sweet potato casserole is to die for! :)

This year, my Thanksgiving hallway crafts came from 2 of my fave bloggers!

I have recently gotten a few questions about the ruffle border! This idea is from one of my former co workers! She had this cuteness everywhere and I made her do a demo for me! :) It is hard to explain, but you cut strips of butcher paper about 4 inches wide {it doesn't matter how long the strips are}. Then, you hold the paper with both hands and scrunch it up using your pointer fingers and thumbs. Great description, huh?!?! :) The best part about the ruffle border is that it doesn't have to be perfect!!

If you have a few extra minutes {HA- funny, right???!!} over the next few days, The Legend of the Five Corn Kernels is a super quick, but impressionable, lesson. You can click on the pic below to snag it for free from TpT.

I also HEART the new show Nashville! So fun! My little sis lives there so it is fun to see all the hot spots in town on the show!

Last November, I contacted Denyse at Scrappin Doodles and asked her to create graphics for all of the Old Lady books. I was SO PUMPED when she emailed back to say yes!!!! She is such a fabulous artist! The crazy Old Lady has been a fave of mine since my first year of teaching! I even made an old lady puppet for sequencing! *Will update with a pic tomorrow from school!

My very first Old Lady unit, I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie, needed a little sprucing up! TpT buyers and sellers..can't you instantly tell your first few units??? :) It kind of makes me cringe! HA!
